How many anchors does a mobile home need?

HUD standards require anchors every 8–10 feet along each side of the home, with additional anchors at the ends. The exact number depends on the home's length, width, and local wind zone requirements.

How much does mobile home anchoring cost?

A full anchor and tie-down installation typically costs $500–$2,000 depending on the home size and local soil conditions. Anchor replacement or repair is usually less expensive.

What is the difference between frame ties and over-the-top ties?

Frame ties attach to the home's steel chassis and resist horizontal wind forces. Over-the-top ties strap over the roof and resist uplift forces. Most HUD-compliant installations require both types.
